I don't know why I didn't think it was a burn becauce he did have a heat rock near the hide box. We can see on the photo that the vent had a black tip. I did not pop him but for what I could see it was dry and kind of rough if that makes any sence. The color in the vent appears normal so I don't the vent itself is infected. To my suprise the shake is still eating like a champ. I was pressed for time so I will go back to help him with the treatment and cage setup.

I broke my foot last Friday so it is difficult for me to get around but I'll do my best. He is going to have to step up and take full responsibility for the care of his snake. I keep a good number of healthy, happy herps at my house but by no means am I some magical snake doctor. I just care and love these little guys. (Sorry for venting) I'll take another look and keep you posted. Thanks for all the help and the info.
